If I said "Britain has draconian libel laws" or "The US has absurd copyright laws" would I be wrong? Off the top of my head, I can't name a single rule or law that supports my claim, I only picked up a sense of that from reading the news. Likewise, I read articles like this and I get the impression that Russian IP laws are basically just tools for running extortion rackets... that's my simplistic layperson's take on the situation, but I don't really see any credible counter narrative in this thread.
